Thank you again to Emerson for warmly welcoming us to their office. Special thanks to Tenny, Eric, Dave, Norman, Mavic, Bryan, Jennylyn, EDP, Gian, and the rest of Emerson who made the meetup a success!
Agile Philippines meetups happen every last Wednesday of a month. This is a community event, and is only made possible by the people who go to the meetups, and the organizations who open their doors to allow us to meet as a community.
Please do reach out to our Facebook group if your organization is interested in hosting a future meetup.
See you in November at Freelancer at Bonifacio Global City!
